Just back from the 2nd annual thats brilliant event at echo.. it was… well, brilliant. Smaller than last year and more focused. Jerome and crew had curated the event well. The topic was winter inventions. there were about 9 inventors there with everything from ski bindings to wings, sleds to ski bikes and even a lawn mower for ice.. It was a great group of people

The highway department was there with their state of the art brine sprayer…  less than half the slat and more effective .  pretty cool and comfy, too

check out all these controls.

the voodo balance board folks were there

this guy built bikes for snow

a musher sans dogs

here’s the ice mower.. its for hokey rinks, how cool is that ?

there were even a couple of talks.. this one was on leg injuries due to ski bindings..

that speakers name was carl ettlinger.. that’s my mom’s maiden name !.. No relation though.. at least that we could find.

one guy was there with snow wings. i kept thinking.. ‘i should get those for sam’.. sigh..

this guy made a cool one handed bnding device.

Once again.. great to see the creative minds in Vermont come out to play…

OK.. all for now..

nite all, nite sam
